Themes have flooded the Android Market following the success of all the new home applications. aHome now includes its own theme browser and Google will be adding a themes section to the Android Market soon. On Interaction is one developer devoted soley to desktop additions. Their ColorBook series of themes have become popular for their lite design and quick response times. When customers began to request sports themes, On Interaction quickly responded.
On Interaction has also released several widgets for aHome including QuickTweet and QuickNote. QuickTweet is one of the fastest ways to update Twitter when using the soft keyboard included with aHome. QuickNote allows you to attach sticky notes anywhere to your desktop and includes several themes.
I have QuickTweet installed and its great for instant Twitter updates. No longer do I have to wait for Twidroid to load and update if I only want to send a short tweet. If you are a constant Twitter user, I would suggest giving it a look.
What other types of themes would you like to see from developers? Are there any widgets you would like to see made? Have you even attempted to install a theme?

Jennifer Aniston Responds to Her Oscars Snub (Video)
Jennifer Aniston was left off the nominations list for this year's Oscars and she is responding to the snub with nothing but grace.
"I'd be lying if there wasn't a little [aw], but after that there's a lot of, 'but look at tonight, look at the Globes, look at the SAGs!'" the 45-year-old actress told Access Hollywood. "We're an embarrassment of wonderful riches [for] a movie that hasn't even been released and is teensy tiny. This is all just cherries on top of something that was really special to us. So we're really excited."
Jennifer also said that two of the nominated women reached out to her after the nominations were announced.
"[Reese Witherspoon] sent me such a sweet email, as did Julianne [Moore]," Jen added. "They are all amazing women, but you know, we're all rooting for each other and it doesn't take away the work that was done. So it's really, really nice."

Sun Run - week #5
Sun Run Training Clinic – Week #5
Again, we lucked out weather wise for our Saturday morning Sun Run clinic. It was raining a bit when I left my house but by the time we were ready to run the rain had stopped. We all checked in, Sherry gave a quick talk on what each group was covering in the clinic today and then we headed out for our workout. Phil loaded up his phone with his favorite app that took us through our warm up exercises. It was certainly much warmer this week than last….no gloves needed. Phil 's wife Cathy decided to join our running group today so we had one extra member.
This morning's run assignment for the group was a 55 min session…our longest yet! Our workout consisted of a 10 minute warm up, then we moved to intervals of 5 minutes of running at a faster pace followed by a 2 minute recovery run at slower speed (repeated 5 times), finished with a 10 minute cool down. The plan was to make our way to Lafarge Lake area…most of the route is relatively flat. As we began our warm up run, Phil laid out the plan for our run. He wanted us to stick together for the warm up and then we would work at our own pace for the 5 minute interval and come back together for the 2 minute recovery. Well, I am glad he laid this out because once we picked up the pace for our first interval, Phil and the men in the group took off. There was no way that I would have kept pace….those long legs. Maybe I am slightly jealous of their height! Phil's wife and I were pretty much at the same pace so we were close together for most of the morning.
The time flew by and we arrived at Lafarge Lake faster than I expected. We were counting down the intervals as a group as we made our return trip back to the recreation centre. Before we knew it, we were in our 10 min cool down to finish. When we arrived back at the recreation centre, Phil informed the group that we had covered 8.6 kms in our 55 mins. Whoot Whoot! I was pretty impressed with that distance and I started a round of high fives with everyone. Week #5 and 8.6 kms…our small running group was proud.
We finished off with Phil's series of stretches inside the rec centre and then proceeded to the meeting room for breakfast with the other groups. Sherry had laid out quite the spread of breakfast for everyone. Much more than what I expected when she said there would be breakfast after today's clinic. Eggs, ham, cheese, crackers, fruit, yogurt, power bars, juice and chocolate milk. A perfect way to refuel the body after emptying the tank during our longest run yet. Thanks to Sherry for a delicious snack after some hard work! Then I was off to home to hit the shower and brag to my family that I ran 8.6 kms this morning…and yes, my legs could certainly feel every kilometer by the time I walked up my front steps J

STANDARD: MU:Cr1.1.E.Ia
Compose and improvise ideas for melodies, rhythmic passages, and arrangements for specific purposes that reflect characteristic(s) of music from a variety of historical periods studied in rehearsal.
For this lesson, choose your upcoming touring destination and a time period in history.
Research the destination and time period at home. Write down 5-10 musical traits that are representative of the region's music during the time. From the list, choose 2-4 characteristics which you will later use in a composition assignment. Explain the choices you have made.
- Why did you choose these characteristics?
- How do these characteristics fit into the time period selected?
- Why are these characteristics applicable to the region?
- How might you use these in your composition?
Your ensemble is traveling to Spain this year and you are teaching 19th century music in your classroom. Ask the students to characterize Spanish musical attributes of the 19th century. Students may list traits such as "rhythmic sounds", "clapping/snapping" or "guitar instrumentation." They may explain that their rhythmic traits were chosen to represent the Flamenco style or that they chose guitar instrumentation as it is a popular Spanish instrument.
Since the new core music standards were launched in June 2014, music teachers across the country have been identifying ways to teach them in their classrooms. For ensembles that travel, some standards can easily be met through pre-departure preparations, while on tour and even upon return. This is the first lesson plan for a new e-book which directly addresses each new core standard while also incorporating touring elements. Download the full e-book here:

My husband's family is from New Mexico. They love sopapillas and more importantly they love green chili. My favorite green chili dish is chili relleno, but I have never been able to really master the frying, and the stuffing and dipping. Plus frying is so much work. So I was really excited when my husband found this great, EASY and yummy chili relleno casserole recipe.
- large can of whole green chili
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Yes that's really it!
- spray a casserole dish with oil to avoid sticking
- Drain the chilies and split them open and add a layer to your dish
- Top with cheese
- Continue adding chili and cheese layers
- In a bowl mix the eggs with heavy cream and whisk.
- Pour egg mixture over chili and cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until egg mixture firms up

State police at Dunmore are seeking a 36-year-old Carbondale man wanted on charges of robbery and burglary, troopers said.
Dana Ray Skeen, 16 Spencer St., stole $250 in cash and $2,000 in tools from two businesses in the Archbald and Greenfield Twp. areas July 24, according to a criminal complaint.
At the Greenfield Twp. break-in, at Leo's Garage on Route 247, Skeen attacked businessman Leo McGurrin, who discovered Skeen rummaging through the garage's second-floor office, state police said. McGurrin told troopers that Skeen, whom McGurrin did not know at the time, punched his head several times.
Troopers said Skeen also broke into R.S. Kurilla Transmission & Service Center on Main Street in Archbald. Surveillance cameras showed part of that burglary.
The burglaries occurred within 30 minutes of each other before dawn that July morning, state police said.
McGurrin viewed the surveillance footage from the Archbald burglary and said the man in the video is the man who attacked him.
At both crime scenes, investigators found latent fingerprints. By Aug. 21, fingerprint analysis confirmed they both belonged to Skeen.
Trooper Carl Ives prepared a photo lineup for McGurrin on Aug. 22. McGurrin picked out Skeen as his assailant.
Skeen is also sought on charges of criminal trespass, theft, simple assault, criminal mischief and harassment. Skeen has been arrested for burglary eight times since 2003, according to state court records.
Police ask that anyone with information on Skeen's whereabouts contact the Dunmore barracks at 570-963-3156, Archbald police at 570-876-0426 or the Lackawanna County Communications Center at 570-342-9111.

As I shared last week, the whole Hot nights in St. Blaise series will be available in a boxed set later this month!
To celebrate, I'm going to share bits and pieces from the series. Here are 8 lines from book #4, Always Miss April:
"It's official, you've made me crazy."
"Only took an afternoon," Marilyn said as she sat up and pulled her dress closed over her still heaving chest.
"Plus a few decades," he muttered.
She sat back in the seat, blowing out an exhausted breath. "I'm not as bendy as I used to be."
"None of us are," he grumbled. He shot her a dark glare. "I should arrest myself."
The tender feelings Sheriff Delavan Cormack has for his lifelong best friend, Marilyn Dumbrowski, are the worst kept secret in a tiny town where everyone knows everyone else's business.
When Marilyn's teenage son starts acting out, Del uses his badge and their friendship to force the marriage he has wanted for too damn long. What Del didn't know was the cool, competent ER nurse and hardworking single mom has been keeping a secret that has her burning red hot day and night.
With everything he dreamed of having in the palm of his hand and so much more than he bargained for happening in the bedroom, Del is faced with figuring out exactly how far he's willing and able to go when he discovers that the power of his love may not be enough to satisfy the woman he adores.
That's all for this week, friends! Be sure to check out all of the Weekend Writing Warriors excerpts!

It takes a logistics well oiled and a meticulous organization to prepare Canadian snowmobile trail 112 000 km, in order to accommodate the 1.5 million snowmobilers from the four corners of the world! If you are still hesitating, here are five good reasons that will convince you to make a snowmobile raid in the Canada this winter…
Baptism of snowmobile and pleasures of the raid
Too many people think about being an ACE of the handlebar in order to enjoy the pleasures of the snowmobile, but far from it. Each year, thousands of people come to the Canada for their baptism of skidoo… Indeed, the country to the maple leaf there accessible sites where the trails are flat and straight, and lend themselves perfectly to the introduction to snowmobiling. Besides, all snowmobile clubs begin their sessions by learning sessions. For the first kilometres, you will be supervised by certified instructors. You will be surprised by the extreme maneuverability of machines, because for most models used in the tourist circuits, there are only two options for manoeuvre: move forward and stop. After only a few minutes to the handlebar, driving snow scooter becomes completely intuitive! The Charlevoix region as well as the shores of the St. Lawrence River, with their easy trails and their atypical landscapes are part of these places where it is good to learn the snowmobile. You use large expanses of snowy, littered undergrowth and frozen water points… Very quickly, you'll want to push the throttle a little more to know the true pleasures of driving and pacing explore this land of incredible beauty. Once the skidoo is completely tamed, you won't have trouble swallowing the kilometers to get to places such as the wildlife reserve of the Laurentians, the Anse-Saint-Jean, Saint-Aimé-Lake, without forgetting the Saguenay.
The landscapes of the Canada and national parks
The Canada snowmobile raid is also an opportunity to discover the natural treasures of the country differently. Hills, lakes, rivers, Plains, fjords, glaciers, hills, edges of sea, forests, mountains, wildlife, flora… Landscapes are as diverse as they are spectacular! Of course, there are several ways of communing with this exuberant nature, hiking or sled dogs, walks in snowshoes, trekking and camping… But browse Canadian scopes at the handlebars of a snowmobile remains by far the best experience that you will be given to live. And more especially, when you have a few days before you, because opting for snowmobile tours, not only you will cover very large distances in a short time, but in addition, guests have access to the most remote places… Contrary to popular opinion, the practice of snowmobiling is not incompatible with green tourism… Regulations regarding the movement of snowmobiles and noise they cause, is the commitment of snowmobile clubs for the environment: their parks to snowmobiles are exclusively composed of so-called "green" skidoos Snowmobile motor 4 time, less greedy in fuels and lubricants polluting, but also quieter. You have more reason to hesitate between the 42 national parks (Kootenay, Mauricie, Peninsula Bruce, nature reserves and marine conservation areas, but also the exceptional sites as the Monts Valin, the natural of the Canada sights await you!
Activities to discover and try
When it comes to winter stay in the Canada, many are those who imagine the middle of nowhere with temperatures far below zero, braving the white desert and frigid winds… Sure, winter in the far North is far from being sweet, but spend an exceptional stay is not an impossible mission. Many more winter in the Canada that extends from December to March is conducive to a myriad of exciting outdoor activities! In addition to the raids in snowmobiling, skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, skating to ice, racket, but also contest of snowmen are both fun and recreation to discover! To change the hectic speed, you can totally swap your snowmobile against a genuine sled pulled by the dog teams, to get into the skin of a Musher and dealing with these adorable balls of hair, a half day… In Quebec, in particular, the winter is eagerly awaited in order to practice the "ice fishing", that is, trout ice fishing! This is a custom inherited from the native Americans, still perpetuated by Quebecers. Across the region, when ice covers ponds and rivers, it is a true ritual: small cabins are located on the ice field and each moved to extend its lines and fish for trout, as did the Inuit… And during your tour snowmobile to the Canada, tempted also by the pleasures of the hatch. Follow in the footsteps of wild animals such as lynx, Hare, Beaver, otter, moose, polar bears purposes funds forest or near rivers… Unforgettable encounters guaranteed!
Canadian cultural wealth
The trip by snowmobile to the Canada is also interesting. Between two breaks in the heart of nature, you will have the opportunity to trace hundreds of years of history and Native American, British, and French cultural influences through the cities where you step. Quebec and its surroundings are a perfect example with its museums, old Quebec and its old buildings, the village of Tadoussac and its charm, not to mention the majestic Château Frontenac, perched on the Cape diamond… Montreal is also a fascinating cultural event, characterized by an incredible sweetness of life! Apart from the impressive concentration of museums (Museum of archaeology and of history of Pointe-à-Callière, Museum of fine arts, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Château Ramezay…), Montreal cultural wealth translates into many music festivals, theatre, hooking and arts events that animate the city throughout the year! Finally, culinary travel lovers will also find their happiness in Vancouver, the cosmopolitan where cuisine inspired by the four corners of the globe both colorful and rich in flavor delights gourmets… Visit one by one the ethnic neighborhoods to discover Asia, the India from kitchens, but also of the Italy and the Greece. Landscapes of rare beauty, feelings of escape and freedom, unique activities, traditions and culture. You will understand, the raid snowmobile to the Canada promises you more than a simple motorized adventure!

2 Willow Rd in Hampstead is the former home of architect Ernö Goldfinger.
He designed and built the house in in 1939.
This inspirational home, the middle of 3 terraced houses, is one of the few modern movement houses, complete with its original contents, that is open to the public.
The Studio
During the 1930s Hampstead replaced Chelsea as the place where significant numbers of artists lived and worked. Some of the artists who became Goldfinger's friends, notably Roland Penrose and Lee Miller, were associated with the Surrealist movement. Among the Surrealist devices reflected at Willow Rd is the emphasis on framing openings.
The Surrealists were also pioneers in the collecting and display of found objects, elevating things otherwise considered worthless into items of curiosity and inspiration.
The Main Bedroom
The use of colour plays an important part at 2 Willow Rd. A carefully devised sequence of colours defines the surfaces of walls and floors, growing lighter and brighter as one ascends through the house. The range of colours used is similar to those used by Cubist painters such as Georges Braque and Juan Gris.
The use of texture also plays a part. Although most of the surfaces are smooth, they vary from the reflective shine of Armstrong tile floors and gloss paint to matt plywood and fine-textured concrete.
Living room
Modern architecture used the most advanced mechanical services available, but by the 1930s these had not developed very far. The living room has an open fire, a feature of nearly all modern houses of the 1930s in spite of its traditional associations, although here it is contained entirely within its opening, lifted off the floor to provide more effective radiant heat and prevent the clutter of a hearth.
To preserve the sense of pure volumes within the house, built-in cupboards and fittings were designed by Goldfinger and provided wherever possible. The main bedroom wardrobe is fitted with wooden trays, each carefully dimensioned to particular items of clothing.
Also of interest is the Goldfinger's art collection, which includes works by Henry Moore and Max Ernst, amongst others.

Jamie Burnett (born 16 September 1975) is a Scottish former professional snooker player from Hamilton, South Lanarkshire.
Burnett made his mark in the 1997 German Open by reaching the quarter finals and equalled his best run the following year in the 1998 Grand Prix.In a 1997/98 season dominated by Stephen Hendry, Burnett claimed two victories over the world number one as well as recorded victories over Stephen Lee and Mark Williams. He made his first appearance in the final stages of the World Championship in 1996, when he led Terry Griffiths 5–0 and 9–5 before losing 9–10. His second appearance did not come until 2009, equalling Barry Pinches' record for the longest gap between Crucible appearances.[3]
During the qualifying stages of the 2004 UK Championship, he achieved the impressive feat of becoming the first ever player to compile a break over 147 in a professional match, in which he made a break of 148 against Leo Fernandez. After being awarded a free ball Burnett took the brown as an extra red, then a brown, then added 15 reds and 12 blacks, two pinks and a blue. He then potted the colours to complete a historic and remarkable 148 break. He afterwards commented "I didn't really know how to react afterwards. At first I thought it was no big deal, but then I realised I'd made history."[4][5]
Burnett qualified for the 2008 UK Championship, losing 3–9 to his practice partner Stephen Maguire in the first round. Bookmakers ceased taking bets on the exact scoreline after a surge of bets for that result.[6] In frame 12 Burnett had a chance to make the scoreline 4–8, missing a straightforward final black by so much that BBC analyst John Parrott suggested that an amateur player would be unhappy. The BBC's Clive Everton commented that the circumstances of the final two frames merited investigation. Everton said in commentary "I've seen some things in my time including someone with Nougat sticks instead of legs, but if this match isn't investigated I'll eat my own kidney!"[7]
The World Snooker Association decided to investigate the circumstances behind the result,[8][9] before a formal police investigation was launched, days before Burnett met Maguire in the 2009 World Championship.[10] Following a report from Strathclyde Police, the Crown announced that it had found insufficient evidence to justify a criminal prosecution.[11]
Burnett qualified for the 2010 Shanghai Masters. He started in the wildcard round, and benefitted from Ronnie O'Sullivan withdrawal of the main draw to receive a bye to the second round. Burnett then beat Andrew Higginson, Mark Davis (coming back from 0–3 and 1–4), and Jamie Cope en route to his first ranking event final, where he was defeated 7–10 by world number 4 Ali Carter.
Burnett could not qualify for a single ranking tournament during the 2011/2012 season.[12] He finished it ranked world number 39 and needed to perform well in the first three tournaments of next season, before he lost the large amount of ranking points he gained for reaching the 2010 final in Shanghai.[13]
Burnett did start the new season strongly as he qualified for the first two ranking events, the Wuxi Classic and Australian Goldfields Open. In Wuxi he beat Neil Robertson 5–1 in the first round, before losing to Mark Davis 3–5.[14] In Australia Burnett defeated world number one Mark Selby 5–3,[15][16] but then exited the tournament in the second round again following a 1–5 defeat to Marco Fu, with Burnett bemoaning a lack of consistency in his game.[17] Despite this he then almost won his first professional title at the minor-ranking Gdynia Open, which formed part of the Players Tour Championship series, by reaching the final where he faced Neil Robertson. He trailed 0–3 in the best of seven frames match, but came back to level the match at 3–3. The decider lasted 52 minutes with Burnett missing a black off its spot with one red left to lose 3–4.[18] However, his run to the final helped him to qualify for the Finals by finishing 12th on the PTC Order of Merit.[19] In the Finals he faced Robertson once more and was beaten again, this time by a 2–4 scoreline.[14] Burnett also qualified for the International Championship, but lost 3–6 to Stephen Maguire in the first round.[20] From December 2012 until the end of the season Burnett could not win another match, culminating in a 6–10 loss to Yu Delu in the third round of World Championship Qualifying.[21] He ended the season where he began it, ranked world number 39.[22]
Burnett's deepest run in a ranking event in the 2013/2014 season was at the German Masters where he beat Ratchayothin Yotharuck 5–2, Joel Walker 5–2, before losing 5–1 to Xiao Guodong in the last 16.[23] He won three matches in World Championship concluding with a 10–8 victory over Ben Woollaston to reach the Crucible for the fourth time.[24] Burnett led Joe Perry 6–3 after the opening session, but was defeated 10–7 and said afterwards that he was not enjoying snooker any more and that it was becoming a chore.[25]
He began the 2014/2015 season with a quarter-final showing at the Yixing Open, where he lost 4–2 to Ding Junhui.[26] Burnett overcame Matthew Stevens 6–1 in the first round of the International Championship and then knocked out Judd Trump 6–5. Despite this apparent big win against a top eight player, Burnett did not think he had played well due to needing three or four chances to win each frame.[27] He reached the quarter-finals with a 6–2 victory over Peter Ebdon, but had his mistakes punished by Ricky Walden in a 6–1 thrashing.[28] Burnett could not win a match at a ranking event during the rest of the season. He did win two games in World Championship qualifying, before losing 10–6 to Craig Steadman.[26]
Three qualifying wins saw Burnett play at the 2015 Australian Goldfields Open and he lost 5–3 to Joe Perry in round one. His best run of the 2015/2016 season was at the UK Championship, where wins over Sanderson Lam, Alan McManus and Li Hang saw him reach the last 16.[29] Burnett recovered from a 4–1 deficit against John Higgins to level, but would be defeated 6–4.[30] He entered the first three events of the 2016/2017 season, but has now not played a professional match since July 2016 and has been relegated from the tour.[31]

Has it really been a year?07 Aug 2012
This is a joined post with Sam – go comment at his place!
Almost exactly a year ago, the two of us (Sam and Peter) sat down to talk about what we could do together to help mathematicians using the internet.
A few months earlier, we had started a small project we called SetTheoryTalks, a simple wordpress.com blog that announces and aggregates set-theoretic talks from around the world. Even though it has grown to its own website, STT is, at heart, a very simple service, and we wanted to take another step.
Essentially, we just wanted to do a better job with our professional home pages. Sam for example was quite simply sick of ssh'ing in to the server – it's not the way professional web pages are updated anymore, and it certainly isn't conducive to displaying the most up-to-date information. (Peter on the other hand just wanted some cool and shiny stuff that hid his incompetence at web design).
But while we were at it we thought: why can't we do something that helps everybody? There are all of those weird and sometimes laughable "home pages" that we constantly come across when we search for mathematicians and articles. Can't we do something about that?
We basically saw two major problems with math home pages. The first is what we called "the Geschke problem". (We hope Stefan won't take offence – in fact, his problem has since been fixed.) Until recently, if you searched for Stefan Geschke on the internet, you would find his FU Berlin profile page, which provided some basic but outdated information about him. At the bottom of the page there was an inconspicuous link which said "This page now lives at Boise State" and took you to another wonderful homepage of Stefan Geschke at BSU. Again, scroll to the bottom of the page and lo and behold you found a link saying "This page now lives at the Hausdorff Center" and took you to his true (current as of 2012) home page. It's nothing new, but like all researchers, mathematicians move around a lot, and their web sites shouldn't have to hide behind their institution.
The second issue we wanted to tackle we called "the Zeilberger problem". The root of this problem is that mathematicians have been using the internet for a very long time. Since the early nineties we have actively used the web for preprints, for notes, for lecture notes, for research material and so on. But meanwhile, the internet has been changing and we have not changed with it. A Mathematician such as Doron Zeilberger can get away with that because of his stature. But other researchers really have no excuse when their web site looks as if it was written in 1992—and moreover makes it extremely hard to interact with the researcher, i.e., uses none of what modern web technology has to offer in terms of interactivity, exchange and generally presentation of content. The web is much more than just hand-written HTML with GIF-tiled backgrounds.
And so we registered a domain and set up shop embracing the wonderful wordpress. It took a while to come up with a name but we chose Booles' Rings and boolesrings.org.
It's been quite a ride in the last year. We started out with a group of really just three, including the two of us and Katie Thompson. We slowly expanded to arrive at roughly 10 users, which is not too shabby considering that set theorists aren't exactly known to be the most outgoing of people. And while we could not have predicted how it would look today, the outcome exhibits exactly what we had hoped: the members of Booles' Rings are using their sites in quite a diverse fashion.
First of all, a good deal of academic progress has been disseminated on Booles' Rings. For instance, Joel Hamkins has an incredible academic output and he continually posts his talks and papers. Others like Vika Gitman have followed his lead, posting long summaries of her latest research.
Then you have people like Saf who write detailed notes on research-level mathematics, piling through Todorčević's lecture notes, and making a serious contribution to the amount of of information that is available on the web. And yet another style can be found at François's site where short posts with just a quote, a comic, or a problem meet serious academic research and an overflow of ideas from his work at MathOverflow.
Of course, we also had a few positive discussions about blogs, publishing, and interactive home pages in general. While Sam covered everything from refereeing to experimental math-hangouts on G+, Peter went all the way from the ongoing publishing debate to experimenting with a format he calls the "micro-contribution" (a nugget of research that shouldn't be kept secret but which is too small for a formal journal).
Overall we are very happy with this small ecosystem of articles. But there are still many more things we wish to accomplish. First and foremost, we want to introduce the concept of a dynamic web page to a much wider audience. To do this, we plan to build a repository of documents and tools to help others reproduce our experiment. We also plan to create a version of the site that is open to the public—a version which is more stable and which learns from the Booles' Rings experiment.
Finally, we want to make Booles' Rings even more useful to academics by adding more features. While we have developed a few plugins and scripts to help with dissemination and collaboration on boolesrings, a lot more can be done. For instance, we plan to develop a plugin to use your home page as courseware for teaching.
We hope we can count on you to help us get us to the next stage and we look forward to the second year in the life of the Booles and their Rings!

More than two years have passed since International Airlines Group ("IAG") acquired Aer Lingus and it joined British Airways, Iberia and Vueling under the umbrella of IAG.
The merger is of particular interest because of both the proximity of Dublin to London and the fact that Dublin airport offers US Customs & Immigration pre-clearance which is not available in London.
Whilst much has been done to align Aer Lingus to their IAG siblings, there is still more to be done, with many announcements yet to be made.
Here's a quick run through of what has and hasn't happened, with some added speculation on our part.

hilarious. i need to find an abandoned warehouse......
LOL nice
Got no problem with such things, if a building has just been left to rot away. Perhaps a little more effort could have been utilized, but I think it might just have been a fluke to turn out that way.
turns out it was photoshopped to begin with
And lame.
And fake :'(
Totally legitimate and untouched by photoshop...
i laughed so hard when i saw that pic the first time

What has happened to weather forecasts and summaries? Whether it be on Newstalk 580 or any of our local TV stations, the weathercasters seem to miss all the important statistical data from the National Weather Service.
Although we have the greatest weather technology to date, forecasting truly is still anybody's best guess. At least these graphic-loving entertainers could occasionally give us the rainfall season to date, normal to date, barometric pressure and other information that was always included in the 1960s or '70s forecast by the late Brent DeMonte on Channel 24.
Maybe these modern day "chief meteorologists" do not want to give any credit to or defer to the actual weather people, NOAA or the NWS in Hanford. Scores of people in the construction and farming industries need to know real facts to plan their day, not focusing much of the time on air quality and "allergy forecasts." Hello, we know we have pollen here and always will. It would just be nice to return to more traditional forecasts and summaries, telling us exactly how much we received from yesterday's little storm and where that puts us in the scheme of things.

Maybe a little explanation first, so there's minimal confusion. interior theatre is an umbrella name that I, Telia Nevile, have used for most of my productions to date. Matt Kelly and myself have also used it to umbrella our joint project - Penny Machinations - about which you'll find more here. The productions listed don't constitute my entire back catalogue, but they are the most major and most recent. If you've got any questions or want to find out more after you've read through these, please don't hesitate to contact me at email@example.com.
While I'm Away
2010 MICF Golden Gibbo Nominee
2010 MICF Best Newcomer Nominee
"Four stars"
The Age
Following in the footsetps of the 5th Duke of Devonshire, Lord Byron and Andy Kaufmann, Poet Laureate Telia Nevile has travelled the globe in her quest to become a complete artist, plumbing the depths of herself against the wondrous backdrop of the wide, wide world. Join this socially incapable and endearingly over-sharing explorer as she poetically surveys the ruins of her self-worth in 'This Temple of Love is a Renovator's Dram', experiences the high-speed emotional danger of the Alps in 'I Broke My Heart on the Black Run of Your Emotions', and gets primal on the prowl with 'Safari'.

Last Drinks
Winner of the 2008 Short + Sweet Best Comedy Writing award, Last Drinks utilises choreographed movement loops and layers of isolated vocal elements to play with the point where behaviour and interaction become human percussion.
"The clever irony in this piece is that the more words are spoken the less they are needed, forcing us to consider their importance in communication."
The Age, 2008

Zoetrope is a whirlwind live performance that will have you twisting and turning to keep up. Part mechanism, part flesh and blood, this short physical theatre piece puts you right in the centre of a living, breathing amusement arcade machine. Fleeting, fanciful, bizarre and banal, Zoetrope will have you twisting and turning to keep up.
For more info, click here.
Penny Machinations
Penny Machinations was formed by Telia Nevile and Matt Kelly in 2004, and premiered with a five-booth pay-per-view arcade of performance experiments as part of La Mama's 2004 Explorations Season. Having received critical and audience acclaim, interior theatre remounted Penny Machinations during the 2005 Melbourne Fringe will all new content and was awarded Outstanding Special Event 2005 for its sell-out season in the Fringe Club. Since then the company has performed to audiences ranging from small children to music festival goers at festivals such as the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival (2009), the Chookahs Children's Festival (2008), the Melbourne Fringe (2006), the Falls Festival (2007 & 2006) and many many more.
Other highlights of the [Fringe] festival club include the delightful Penny Machinations, a series of brief, deft theatrical delights. It's an excellent way to pass the time while waiting for your next show to start, and great entertainment in its own right...all of these micro-dramas come highly recommended.
Beat Magazine, Oct 2006
...the confrontation with actors in an unknown setting created a wonderful thrill of fear. Penny Machinations, developed by Telia Nevile and Matt Kelly, turned out to be a fertile and highly entertaining experience.
RealTime, Feb/Mar 2005

...ad infinitum
Created and performed by Telia Nevile with Matt Kelly
Singing by Eva Johansen
Set to live performances of golden oldie love songs, ...ad infinitum is built to resemble an old penny arcade machine, with two dolls that stand ready to perform your choice of the Beginning, Middle or End of love's life cycle. This is an occasionally malfunctioning, but unceasingly delightful movement piece containing cheesy romance, soul-satisfying cliche and Jerry Springer finales.
Originally performed in foyers around Melbourne during the 2002 Melbourne Fringe, ...ad infinitum has since gone on to be part of the Penny Machinations repertoire.
Somewhere Along the Way
Created by Telia Nevile with performers Clare Reynolds and Matt Kelly
Original music by Paul Kotz
We lose people and things all the time, every day, but sometimes it takes days, weeks or even years to notice...other times you know the feeling's gone even though they're sitting right there beside you.
You always thought they would be there, you never thought this feeling would end, you can't imagine life any other way... When you realise it has ended, where to from here? Do you want it all back? Will you fight for it? Or has the feeling evaporated and all that's left is a gap?
Somewhere Along the Way is a 40-minute devised piece using movement, text, images and sound to explore those moments of clarity we have when one chapter closes and another opens.
Originally performed at La Mama in 2003, Somewhere Along the Way was re-mounted in 2004 at The Street Theatre in Canberra with the help of an artsACT grant.
"If Telia Nevile had a room to house her artform, it would be a modest quarter crammed with a thousand tiny boxes, each a seed of intriguing potential. Nevile is expert at constructing a sequence of moments that illuminate a particular theme."
Melbourne Times, 2003

Linger...just one more
Created by Telia Nevile with performers Kath Papas, Scott Gooding and Louise Thorpe
Original music and live percussion by Paul Kotz
A heartbeat, a water drop, your own breath in your ears...time stretches in between one beat and another. When you linger, you stand still instead of moving, hold back the future by stepping back from the present.
The last moments of a relationship, the last dregs of a party and the final rays of a setting sun unfold in this 30-minute theatre piece of slow, tingling rhythms and vein-bursting builds of tension. In the time between the swings of the pendulum, the compulsive movements of passing minutes disappear. Notch after notch the crank tightens.
Utilising text, gestural movement, rhythm and sound, Linger...just one more is a collage of experiences and images exploring those private moments of inertia that happen at the best and worst times of our lives.
Originally performed as part of La Mama's 2002 season.
"Fun and engaging, its non heavy-handed approach managed to stir some substantial themes. Nevile's aesthetic agenda is best described as casting light on the invisible parts of human nature. Imagine throwing paint randomly in the air only to discover an invisible sculpture there all along, now staring back at you demanding attention. Her sensitivity to the rhythms of the artform - combining theatre, dance and text - is spot-on."

Eyewitness News Shows Growth in July Ratings
10pm News on Fox Providence is #1 late news
In the July 2013 Nielsen ratings period, Eyewitness News showed significant growth with its late night newscasts and was #1 in late news, beating all local newscasts in the key demographic of A18-49. Eyewitness News also demonstrated terrific growth with its weekend morning news coverage, again winning in A18-49, with its early evening newscasts and showing sustained growth across its digital screens.
The late news growth experienced in the May 2013 ratings period continued during the July measurements with Eyewitness News at 10 on Fox Providence winning the late night news race outright. In July 2013, Eyewitness News at 10 on Fox Providence was up in all key demos- up 27% in A18-49 and up 10% in A25-54. Eyewitness News at 11pm on WPRI 12 was also up year to year 23% in A18-49, up 47% in A25-54 and up 32 % in W25 -54. The fact remains that more viewers are getting their late night news from Eyewitness News on Fox Providence at 10pm and WPRI 12 at 11pm.
The success for Eyewitness News also extends to its weekend morning news coverage. On both Saturday and Sunday mornings, Eyewitness News was #1 among A18-49 and tied for #1 in A25-54. In particular, Eyewitness News This Morning, airing Sundays from 6am to 9am on WPRI 12, was up 50% in A18-49, up 44% in A25-54 and up a whopping 150% in W25-54.
In addition, Eyewitness News saw solid growth with its early evening newscasts. Eyewitness News Live at 5 and Eyewitness News at 5:30 each saw a 10% increase in A25-54 from last July. Eyewitness News at 6 grew all key demos in its time period. The 6pm news increased by 31% in A18-49, 17% in A25-54, and 14% W25-54.
"Every day and every newscast, our team is working hard to deliver the vital news and weather information that viewers are looking for," says Eyewitness News Director Karen Rezendes. "I'm very proud of the accomplishments of our team and grateful to the many viewers who have made Eyewitness News their station of choice."
The Rhode Show on WPRI 12 was another success story from the July 2013 book. Rhode Island's only local, lifestyle, news and entertainment program saw significant growth in Women 35+, growing 72%.

Not in Front of the Family
by Janey Fraser
It wasn't until I first got published, that I realised how carefully other people read your books. Especially if they know you. "Is that woman meant to be me?" asked my sister indignantly after my first novel came out. Of course not. Just because they both happened to speak in the same way and had similar careers doesn't mean I based my character on her. Honestly.
But the fact remains that there's a certain vanity – or maybe paranoia – in some people that makes them convinced they are in a book that's been written by a friend or relative.
From an author's point of view, it's hard sometimes to separate fact from imagination. When I dream up my characters, they tend to be what I call a 'pot pourri' of quirks, looks and behaviour. The latter is often garnered from sharpish observation on my part as well as a dollop of fantasy.
So if you happened to have been sitting on the Circle line, three years ago, with a bottle of beer in your hand and whispering loud sweet nothings into the ear of your tattooed girlfriend, you might well find yourself in my next novel. Yes. I confess here, hand on heart, that I found myself writing about this character out of the blue: presumably because he made an impression. However, in my book, he's an accountant by day and a raver at night. That's where my imagination comes in.
So if you think you are the hero or heroine or the villain in a novel, you may well have contributed. But only in a bit part. Sorry.
Right! Now I've got that off my chest, let's address the issue of embarrassment. In fact, I'm going to spell that with a capital E because that's what it is to the author when he or she knows that their nearest and dearest are reading their sex scenes. You see, when you write about romance or lust, you do so in the heat of the moment. You forget that one day, with any luck, it will be published and that all your friends (and husband) will promptly assume that you have a sex life that rivals Casanova.
The result can be mortifying. "I didn't know you wrote those kind of books," said a friend's husband the other day at a dinner party with a wide grin on his face.
"I don't, really," I spluttered, going red and feeling horribly Judas-like.
"So you don't write them," he persisted. "You get someone else to do the sex bit for you?"
"Of course not." I was indignant now. "It's all from my imagination."
He wasn't giving up. "So it's nothing to do with your amazing love life then?" He winks across the table at my own husband who is trying not to listen.
"Writing," I try to say without choking on the prawn mousse, "is a mixture of real and fantasy."
Then – would you believe it – he actually touches my knee. "I think you're amazing. Yes. Really."
Maybe that's why we haven't had a repeat invitation to dinner.
Still, that's nothing compared with the response from my children. They're now of an age when they probably know more about sex than I do. There's nothing that embarrasses them more than when a sex scene comes on the television and I'm in the same room. Actually, there is. It's when there's a sex scene in my book. "I can't read your stuff any more," announced one of them the other day. "Sorry." She flashed me a prudish look. "But it makes me feel weird."
The awful thing is that I can see what she means… Still, recently, I've decided to adopt another approach. The 'write it and don't care what my family and friends think' one. After all, it's my book and my life. In fact, there are some rather juicy scenes coming up in my new novel After the Honeymoon. Both sexy and otherwise.
Before you ask, they don't feature you – although they could do in my next novel. It just so happens that I've been approached by a cancer charity which is auctioning the opportunity for readers to have their names in authors' books. It's for a great cause. So if you want to be featured, please email me at email@example.com.
Meanwhile, I'm off to write another sex scene. Just to embarrass the kids. Funnily enough, my husband doesn't mind. Between you and me, I think he rather likes it…
After the Honeymoon by Janey Fraser was published on May 22. She is also the author of Happy Families, The Playgroup and The Au Pair, all published by Arrow, Random House.

MAP for Primary Grades, newly released by Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA), provides a computer-based adaptive assessment for students in grades K-2.
The program includes two early reading and two math assessments, as well as a variety of teacher and administrator reports. In the fall, MAP for Primary Grades will include prerequisite tests and skills checklist tests to support intake testing and student placement.
Like all NWEA assessments, the program is based on the Association's RIT scale. The scale enables educators to measure growth independent of grade level and to evaluate and compare performance data across years.
The MAP for Primary Grades program extends the use of the NWEA RIT scale from Kindergarten through high school. The MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) program, available for many years, uses the RIT scale for assessments for grades 2 through high school.

Europe may get a manned spacecraft (carefully not called a space shuttle), which is nice. I think the cold war US leading the way was a good thing, but it's also important to have other players in the game. I'm not sure we'll see that sort of drive again anytime soon as it was such a cultural "gotta get there first" mentality that I don't know if we could recapture (or would really want to, getting to the moon was great, but the rest of the cold war wasn't so much fun).
A plan for a manned spacecraft has been announced by the European firm EADS.
Its Astrium division has designed a variant of its space station freighter that could also transport astronauts.
Limited details were released in Bremen, Germany, on Tuesday; further information and a mock-up are expected at the Berlin Air Show this month.
Europe does not currently possess its own human space transportation system and is reliant on the Americans and the Russians to get its people into orbit.
European Space Agency (Esa) boss Jean-Jacques Dordain has spoken frequently of his desire to see an independent system; and the US space agency (Nasa) chief, Mike Griffin, has also urged Europe to build its own crew carrier.

text: I have an English DS and an R4, and for most Japanese games it plays them in Japanese. However, the game "Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2008 (Japan)" plays in English despite being a Japanese game. I guess there is something in the game that makes it recognize that I do not have a Japanese DS and does not play it in Japanese. Is there a way to change this??? Thanks

Happy New Year Everyone,
As I begin to write this newsletter to you, I take a moment's pause to look outside at an incredible snow covered Thunder Mountain, the back drop of my Sedona home. Snow from the past four days is glowing in a soft light, the air fresh and clean, as a beautiful misty steam rises from the sacred mountain. I am reminded of the message I've received from many yogis who have visited this holy place: Thunder Mountain is Mt. Kailash, the divine home of Shakti and Shiva, dancing in their cosmic play right here alongside us, in the realm unseen, nestled in the sacred earth of the red rocks.
Thunder Mountain, Sedona
I am blessed to have had the opportunity to bring in this new year with a powerful Shiva-Shakti Puja – honoring the balance of the masculine and feminine in my life, in my spirit, and in the world around us. This is going to be a very important principle for us all to live by in the coming year: How can you find this balance within yourself, and how can this balance be portrayed in the life you are manifesting? The masculine and feminine require each other for their very existence. One cannot be without the other. They are the Shiva-Shakti eternal dance of being, representing spirit and mind, emotions and the physical body, the realms seen and unseen. Their dance is a continuous, evolving creation, mirrored many ways in each of our lives.
I want to bring this awareness to the forefront this coming year. It is a great time to recognize the Shiva-Shakti union in yourself, and out of this recognition will grow an honoring of their balance. To recognize it, and to honor it, the work we need to do is within ourselves: It involves an inner and outer movement toward total truth.
Shiva-Shakti Puja
There are two truths I'm speaking of here: The truth of your ideal, and then the truth you are actually living. They too are a Shiva-Shakti play.
Let me give an example… I was recently working with a dear client who said she was trying to move away from a painful relationship. She was, however, also waiting and hoping he would contact her. Since he was not, she felt hurt. So she sent him a "happy holidays" email in search of some response. In one truth, she was telling herself "I want to move away from this relationship." Her other truth was, "I want recognition." But in the action of emailing him, she was directly living in opposition to the truth of "I want to move away from this relationship." She was doing the opposite of what she says she wants. What is the real truth? Do you want the person or do you not? Do you want the attention or not?
How many times in our lives do we act, speak, or think in ways that oppose the truth we actually want to be living?
Last month's new moon we worked on gratitude, then with the full moon on Christmas I advised you to let go of what is not serving you, and with this new moon of January 9th, I encourage you to write down your truth, even if it is very painful. For example, "I emailed this person because I needed attention."
Be honest with yourself as you look at how your actions are actually creating the truth you are in reality living. This is going to automatically bring you to the realization of the truth you want to be living.
Be thankful for both of those realities within yourself. Also be thankful that you are even taking the time to write it out- that you have the consciousness to come to this recognition. Because the more we continue honoring ourselves, acknowledging the truth that is now for ourselves, and then also seeking to live our higher forms of truth, the more we are going to be propelled into actually reaching our purpose.
Right now, the energy is that the truth is going be revealed. You can't hide it anymore. Your truth is being revealed to you.
The energy of this new moon is about honoring that honesty within ourselves. What that means for me is that I don't want to actually cover reality anymore with words. I don't want to mask the truth with words, but actually be my truth. Sometimes we don't speak our truth, our highest ideals, because we feel that we are going to be judged if we don't live up to it, but we have to move past that fear of judgement. Speak your truth as you want to be living it, and then allow your actions to follow.
Create your own Shiva-Shakti dance of balance- Balance your inner masculine and feminine, action and rest, emotions and body, spirit and mind. This is going to help you get clear on what you want and who you are. Then make your actions and speech align with that.
This is going to attract the highest reality for you, and 2016 is going to be a great, transformational year. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you.
I would be honored to assist your 2016 transformations, or with any other aspect of your life, and am therefore extending my session specials until January 30th. February 4th I will be leaving Sedona for Europe until late Spring.

* (out of four)
In "Taken," ex-spy Bryan (Liam Neeson) made single-handedly killing the Albanians who kidnapped his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) look easy. That should've been a clue to leave this one-man wrecking crew alone. No, Murad (Rade Serbedzija) doesn't care that his son was a kidnapper who ruined the lives of innocent young women. He demands revenge on the boy's killer, launching a roughly 30-man operation to capture Bryan, his ex-wife, Lenore (Famke Janssen), and Kim during their trip to Istanbul.

Career Advice Tuesday – "A Tale of Two Cities"
May 11, 2010
Dear Infosecleaders:
I am hoping for some advice on how to handle my current employment search. I am an information security professional with a technical background in computer science. I have done some penetration testing, some technical security assessments, and have a good background in developing and securing web applications. Currently I have a position where I travel a great deal across the country performing this work.
My situation is as follows. I currently live in one city and my girlfriend (we are quite serious) lives in another city where she has a solid career that is dependent on her current location (she can not relocate). I am thinking about changing positions, where I can find work in an organization that will help me develop additional skills that will help me on the path to my career goal, of chief security architect.
Right now I am not sure if I want to move to where she lives considering that I am not aware of many information security opportunities that will help me take the next step in my career. Basically, I am trying to figure out how to search for a new position. I would like to explore opportunities but I do not know where to search, my current city or hers. I want to be fair to myself and potentially my future employer.
Can you provide me with some guidance on how to handle my job search?
Charles Dickens
Dear Chuck:
At some point in many people's career they have to make choices between their personal life and their professional life. Without knowing your currnet situation in depth (we provide career advice not relationship counseling) it is difficult to offer advice without potentially damaging your personal relationship with your girlfriend.
What I will tell you is that before you embark on a search for a new position, you need to figure out where you want to live. I think that if you begin to search for a position and then you decide that you do not want to live there, you can lose a great deal of credibility with the companies that you are pursuing. This indecision will definitely come out in the interview process, and it may effect how these companies view your candidacy and will most likely reflect poorly on your ability to prioritize your career. Plain and simple, you do not want to give the impression to potential employers that you are on a "fishing expedition" and lack the commitment necessary to pursue your next career opportunity.
I think that the best advice is to come to a conclusion on where you want to live and then focus your job search on that geography. If you delay your job search, the worst thing that can happen would be is that you would gain additional experience and become a more proficient information security professional within the framework that your current job provides. In the big picture, this is not that big of deal.
This extra time may also provide you with the necessary time to figure out the level of your relationship with your girlfriend and if your current relationship is worth the short term career sacrifice.
Speaking from our own personal experience, we can tell you that finding the right life partner is much more important that finding the right "next job". I can say with great confidence that there are many more good jobs, then there are great life partners!
Good luck in the pursuit of both of your passions!
Lee and Mike

Why do North Koreans despise America? As well as understanding the loopy leader Kim Jong-un and his tyrannical rule of North Korea and his heavy indoctrination of the people, it's also worth exploring the long history of hatred for America and see what we can learn about our own way of life.
Like a lot of people my age, most of my knowledge about Korea comes from the TV show MASH. Of course it was funny, but also made some pretty insightful comments about the Korea War. One of my favorite moments was in an episode called Dr Pierce and Mr Hyde. Hawkeye stayed awake for 3 days treating wounded soldiers and worked himself into a frenzy. He stumbled into a Frank Burns lecture on why the Korea War was happening. Frank, doped up on patriotism, who once said to his tent mates, "This was a great war, 'till you guys showed up", suggested that the war was because North Koreans envied the American way of life. If they could, he said, they would even steal American bathrooms.
This gave Hawkeye an idea. He decided to cross his legs until the end of the war and send the camp latrine to the North Koreans as a peace treaty. In his sleep deprived stupor, he connected the latrine to a truck and pulled it out of the ground right while a general was doing his business.
It was classic Hawkeye, and raises an important question. What IS the point of these wars and the massive loss of life? What does it mean to export western democracy?
There are many things that the west could give to North Korea that would genuinely help; affordable information technology, aid, food and scientific advances to name a few.
But if we're honest, there are some other things that we need to do some work on before exporting; like a political system that is completely gridlocked and can barely pass an annual budget, a healthcare system that only the wealthiest can afford, a corrupt banking system and an out of control consumer mentality. We call it democracy, but it's really capitalism that we intend to export. The crazy thing is it doesn't give us the security or meaning we hope for, so why would we expect it to excite people in places like North Korea.
The Democracy Index 2011, compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit, placed North Korea last on its list of democracies. But America was 19th, and below both below the former communist Czech Republic and Uruguay, a former right-wing dictatorship that did not achieve democracy until 1984.
The Democracy Index is based on five categories: electoral process and pluralism, civil liberties, how government functions, political participation by the public, and political culture.
The truth is that the people of North Korea don't crave our bathrooms. I'm sure they would like some food, and a lot more freedom than they have, but they can do a lot better than capitalism and so-called democracy.
As film maker John Pilger said,
The major western democracies are moving towards corporatism. Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every human activity, every dream, every decency, every hope. The main parliamentary parties are now devoted to the same economic policies — socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor — and the same foreign policy of servility to endless war. This is not democracy. It is to politics what McDonalds is to food.

Two teenagers were shot and wounded, one seriously, in the Little Village neighborhood this afternoon, according to police.
The men, one 19, the other 18, were walking in the 2700 block of South Homan Avenue about 3:25 p.m. when a black sport-utility vehicle pulled up and one person inside showed a handgun and began to fire, according to a police media notification.
The 19-year-old was shot in abdomen, and the 18-year-old in the buttocks, according to police.
Both were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where the younger man's condition was stabilized, and the older man was listed in serious condition, said Police News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala.

Orbx Cityscape Comes To EU!/
FSX/P3D. Look out FranceVFR, Orbx is taking over Europe and they are here to stay. Now there is no doubt we are all waiting for the Cityscape San Francisco to be released to coincide with FlightBeam's new KSFO project in development and whereas news on that project has been very quiet, it appears the team has moved in ahead with Nice Cote d'Azur and Monaco getting the first treatments. As we all know, this is FranceVFR's stomping ground and whereas I had always hoped there could have been collaboration between Orbx and FranceVFR it looks like Orbx is pressing ahead with manifest destiny. Hopefully this will be compatible with Aerosoft's old Monaco scenery which is still quite good. So my only question here is, will we be seeing many more European cities getting this Cityscape treatment? Because if so, i am all in! Thanks to ADX reader Bradley Aaron Thomas for the tipoff! So what do y'all think??
